WhatsApp introduced the survey feature that can only be used in group chats in the past months. WABetaInfo shared that they are testing the survey feature of users not only for group chats, but also for using individual chats, with its blog account yesterday.
Some Beta testers of WhatsApp have started using the poll feature in individual chats. So, will the poll feature for individual chats be different from group chats? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
There will also be encryption in the survey feature for individual chats!
According to the statement made by the instant messaging application on its blog account, users will be able to create polls in individual chats, just like in group chats. In addition, up to 12 poll options can be added, just like in group chats.
With its end-to-end encryption function, WhatsApp ensured that no one, including the mutual messages themselves, could read it. The popular messaging application will also make end-to-end encryption for surveys launched in individual chats. In this way, no one, including WhatsApp, will be able to see the survey contents.
WABetaInfo also shared the following words about the feature with its followers:
“Initially, we didn’t know why WhatsApp didn’t allow users to create polls in their individual chats, but this can be a fun way to ask something when you already have different options.”
For now, it is unclear when the feature will come to the stable version in the testing phase.
The popular messaging application WhatsApp has also recently announced that they are testing the Avatar feature for Android users. After designing an Avatar, Android WhatsApp users will be able to use it as a sticker pack, just like Memojis for iOS. Avatar sticker packs, which can also be shared with WhatsApp contacts, can also be set in place of the profile photo.
